What is the Numerical Fill-In Generator?

The Numerical Fill-In Generator is a puzzle generator that creates Fill-In puzzles with random numbers making each puzzle unique and a challenge to solve.

A Fill-In puzzle is similar to a crossword puzzle. In a crossword puzzle, the placement of the words is known, but the solver must come up with the correct word or phrase. In a Fill-In puzzle, the words (in this case numbers) are known; the solver must then place the words in their correct locations in the puzzle. Thus, Fill-In puzzles are generally faster and easier to work.

The Numerical Fill-In Generator sports several features.

1. There are 15 different puzzle templates to choose from (5 small, 7 normal, and 3 large).
2. The puzzles can be printed for offline solving or giving to friends.
3. The solution can be shown at any time.  Alternative solutions are left to the user to discover.
4. The program contains an brief in-line instruction on playing for quick reference.
5. The puzzles can be solved completely by using the mouse alone with the AutoFill feature.
6. An Undo feature allows the user to take one step back in solving the puzzle.
7. The program allows for the current game to be restarted and new games to be created on the same puzzle screen.
8. There are additional difficulty options for those advanced players who want a greater challenge.
9. The program's color scheme can be customized to the user's preference and monitor display.
